LETTERS FROM READERS

FLORIDA BAR member Steven Hutchinson's letter to the editor in Wednesday's edition of the Sentinel deplored the potential creation of two more law schools in Florida.

His letter stated that Florida's 66,606 lawyers are more than we need. The problem may not be too many lawyers.

As Judge John Hernandez, a character in novelist John Martel's The Alternate, puts it: "The sum total of human intelligence among trial lawyers is constant, whereas the number of trial lawyers is steadily increasing."
